there are two months OF what they call
cold weather, but which is practically
only weather rendered cold by rain and
by dampncss. All OF the houses are con
structed with reference TO keeping the
occupants cool Connecting the rooms
are large folding doors reaching from the
floor 10 the ceiling. The interiors are
whitewashed and have dado Of tiles
four or five high around the walls Oc-
casionally the ceilings have handsome
sculptures, done in relief. but commonly
they show the naked raftcrs Of what is
called Kharoob wood, or Of cedar. or of
pine. The Kharoob wood is darker than
our Georgia pine
The width OF the Moorish rooms is sell
dom more than twelve feet, varying
greatly in length. One curious custom
they have is that Of never having their
scantlings more than twelve feet in
length Perhaps the most striking
feature Of the houses Of Algicrs, rising as
they do one above another is the flat ter
race, which is virtually the roof Of the
structures. From these terraces one OBJ
tains q magnificent view Of the CITY and
harbor and Of the distant mountain
ranges Under the old Turkish regime
the terraces were reserved for the women.

KEEP OUT OF THE PAST.

Keep out Of the past for it's highways

Its gardens are scre, and its forests are drear,
And everywhere moulders tomb.
Who seeks 20 regain It's lost pleasures
Finds only rose turned 70 dust.
And its storehouse of wonderful treasures
Is covered and coated with rust
Keep out Of the past, it is hauntel.
He who in its avenues gropes
shall find there the ghost Of a JOY prized the
most,
And skeleton throng OF dead hopes.
I'm place OF its beautiful rivers
Lie pools that are stagnant with slime.
And those graves cleaning bright in the
phosphorus light
Cover dreams that were slain in their prime.
Keep out of the past it is lonely
And barren ana bleak TO the view.
Its fires have grown cold aud its stories are
old
Turn, turn 20 the present, the newt
To-day leads you up 20 tn, hill tops,
That are kissed 10y the radiant sun.
To-day shows no tomb-all lifes hopes in
bloom
And to-day holds prize TO bs won.
